067: The low-key No. 1 broker
Win night, pretty crazy.
After celebrating in the locker room, hormonal young people are not satisfied.
So in the evening, the Cowboys players crowdfunded and went to nightclubs to have a wave of fun.
However, since everyone is a student, the celebration of this championship night is naturally not as lavish as that of the NBA players.
Why thousands of dollars a bottle of champagne on a case of this kind of play, Wayne they can't even think of it.
Fortunately, Brother Teddy came later uninvited and joined in the celebration of the players.
Tai Gongzi said that after he paid for the celebration tonight, the Cowboys' players' drinking table was not so shabby.
The hardships of the season were released that night.
The time for the carnival always flies quickly, and the next day is fast approaching in the blink of an eye.
When Mr. Tony got out of bed groggily, he found Wayne in the same room looking at him with a look of resentment.
"Uh...... What's wrong Wayne? "Tony. Aaron saw that he was wearing his upper body, could it be that he was ...... last night
"If you can't drink it, don't drink it, what was drunk last night." As soon as he thought of Tony last night, Wayne couldn't get angry.
Obviously, when I was in a nightclub yesterday, there was a fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged girl who was very eye-to-eye with Wayne.
Before leaving, the girl also left Wayne a phone number, and then whispered in Wayne's ear: "Contact me later." ”
And then what?
And then there is no more!
Because Tony was so drunk, Wayne had to send him back to his room.
I thought I would be able to slip away by sending him back to the room, but Tony was vomiting and making trouble.
Wayne had no choice but to take care of Tony until he fell asleep.
By the time Wayne finished tossing Tony, he himself was exhausted, so he fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was all dawn, and I had a ghost!
Really, if it weren't for the fear that Mr. Tony would be suffocated by his own vomit, Wayne wouldn't bother to care.
It's also strange that American nightclubs don't sell peanuts, but if there is a plate of peanuts, Tony won't drink like that.
How about indulging in a good season after the season? What about good white skin, beautiful and long legs?
It's all been stirred up by Tony!
It's gone, it's all gone!
"Hehe, hey, happy, drink more. Don't blame me, we were so popular at the nightclub yesterday that everyone came to drink with us. As the idol of the audience, it's hard for me to refuse. ”
"Well, people just touch the wine glass with their lips, it's just you, it's really drinking cup after cup, can you be unpopular."
"This ......" Tony's old face flushed, I was so embarrassed after drinking?
"Alright, let's pack up, we'll go back in the afternoon. When the time comes, I will have to meet the fans of Jingshui City. ”
Wayne waved his hand, let him pass the sad things of the past.
The most important thing for people is to look forward.
Ahead, there is a sea of stars waiting for you.
Well, it's not bad for that pair of long legs.
"yes, yes, gotta clean up. Hey, I didn't expect that I was also a person with idol baggage. "Tony. Aaron farts into the toilet to take a shower.
Wayne shook his head, it was really floating.
But whether it should be said or not, the current popularity of the Cowboys is indeed frighteningly high.
Wayne had the waiter bring in several newspapers and sports magazines this morning, and it turned out to be full of news about the Cowboys!
It is said that the latest issue of Sports Illustrated magazine will also invite Wayne, Tony. Aaron and Old Sutton on the cover.
On TV, it was full of reports of the Cowboys winning the championship.
And Wayne's interview invitations have reached the point where they are completely uncountable.
It is also that the Internet is not so developed in this era, otherwise Wayne's fame is estimated to be more extensive.
It's not hard for Wayne to imagine the crowd of people when they return to Stillwater City in the afternoon.
College Celebrity ..... It's really dreamy.
I see myself on TV, in the newspapers.
Sought after by fans and journalists.
In two months, he will be a professional footballer......
It's like living in a dream.
"By the way, that business card ......" Wayne couldn't help but touch his pants pocket when he thought about the professional player.
Fortunately, the business card he got after the game yesterday was not lost in the nightclub carnival.
Staring at the name on the business card, Wayne fell into memory.
Jeff. Schwartz, if this Schwartz is the Schwartz he knew in his previous life.
So, this is really a super easy tool guy...... No, it was the broker himself who sent it to the door.
In Wayne's previous life, probably around 2018, he had seen some reports about Schwartz.
At that time, in the list of "Top 10 Sports Agents in the World" published by Forbes Fortune, Schwartz was the sixth existence.
Don't think that sixth is a very low ranking, you must know that the five in front of him are all agents in the field of baseball and football.
Of all NBA agents, he is the highest-ranked!
Therefore, Schwartz also has the reputation of "the first agent in the NBA".
Someone is about to ask, "Who is recognized?" ”
It's not who recognizes it, it's the data that comes out.
At that time, Schwartz's NBA players had a combined salary of about $348.16 million.
This amount is Richie. Paul and Bill. Duffy's two well-known agents are unsurpassable by the performance of the two well-known agents known to fans.
At that time, there were probably nearly 120 professional agents involved in NBA affairs. And only 18 agents have more than double digits of players.
But Schwartz alone has 41 players, far ahead of everyone.
And he's the only agent to have a double-digit All-Star player under his belt.
In addition to basketball, Schwartz has also been involved in baseball, football and golf. Woods is Schwartz's athlete.
Schwartz's wide network and strength can be known.
Speaking of which, although Schwartz has excellent business ability, his popularity and popularity in the market are far less than that of Bill. Duffy, Pelinka, and Richie. Paul et al.
This is mainly because of his low-key introvertedness, which makes it difficult for you to associate him with the extraordinary cause he has created.
That's right, Schwartz is a low-key person.
He doesn't like to show his face in public, and he doesn't like to make a big deal in front of the media.
Even if he is hyping his own players, he will make himself invisible without a pen.
You can't find any news about him as long as he wants to.
He always pushes his players into the spotlight and then stays behind the scenes.
His favorite moment of the day is to send his daughter to school in the morning, instead of using the crooked brains of the players.
In short, before reading that article at the time, Wayne really didn't know that there was such a great agent in the NBA.
Being the first place is still so deeply hidden, which really shows Schwartz's personality.
But then again, Schwartz is not as good as he was in 2018.
Schwartz, who only came out in 2002 to go it alone and establish the company, can only be regarded as just starting out and has just made a little reputation.
But even so, star players such as Pierce and Kidd have been recruited by Schwartz, which shows that he has built his network and reputation in the NBA.
Overall, Schwartz is quite reliable.
The most important thing is to be reliable and find a peace of mind.
Like Fagan, although his ability is indeed strong, there are too many small actions, and he does not hesitate to sacrifice players for the sake of profit, so he is quite two or five boys.
A good agent can make a player's career twice as effective and incomparably smooth.
Like Dirk. The Silver Horn King. Nowitzki's ability to play smoothly without an agent is always just an exception.
So after reminiscing, Wayne tried dialing Schwartz's number.
Sooner or later, the agent is looking for it, and now there is a reliable one to send to the door, so just talk to him.
As a result, Wayne had barely dialed twice before the phone was answered — God knows how long Schwartz had been in front of the phone.
"Wei, thank you very much, it's a pleasure to receive your call. Again, I would like to introduce myself, I am the agent of Excellence Sports Management Ltd., Jeff. Schwartz.
I have All-Stars like Pierce and Kidd under my belt. By the way, the top candidate Emeka . Okafor will also sign me officially in a few days.
So you don't have to worry I'm some charlatan. ”
As soon as the phone was connected, Schwartz thanked Wayne very warmly and briefly introduced himself.
"Hello, Mr. Schwartz. I know who you are, if you're going to be in the draft......"
"Hey, don't worry, Wayne. If you wish, I will personally visit Shizui City. When the time comes, we will talk about cooperation in detail.
When do you have time? As long as it's convenient for you, I'm always there. Even if you want to talk about it in the early morning, I'm OK. ”
"This ......," Wayne drifted a little.
Look at the attitude! This is the legendary taking the customer as God?
The question is...... This "God" has no money in his pocket.
"By the way, you don't have to worry about commissions. I'll spell it out on my contract that all of my services are free until you become an NBA player and get paid.
Not only that, but I can help you pay for all the activities you need to participate in the trial and so on. ”
Schwartz was like a roundworm in Wayne's stomach, and Wayne really thought about it, so Schwartz took the initiative to speak.
Sure enough, what is capable is different.
At least Schwartz didn't start fooling around as soon as he came up, but he was all about it.
Anyway, Wayne decided to meet with Schwartz first.
It's not that you have to sign under Schwartz, but it doesn't hurt to bump into each other.
"Then, let's be in Shizumi City tomorrow. Well...... Let's talk to a café. ”
"As you wish, Wayne. I've been following you for a long time and I love how good you are. Believe me, our conversation will be very pleasant. ”
After saying that, the two sides hung up the phone.
Wayne took a deep breath, his college goals had been achieved.
But all this is just the beginning.
The career path starts with finding a broker.
The NBA and the sea of stars, your Wei Ge is here!
